The project: „The role of artificial intelligence in the social policy of the people’s republic of China against the background of chinese cybernetic theories”

PhD Supervisor: Dr hab. Michał Krzykawski, prof. UŚ, University of Silesia in Katowice

PhD Advisor: Dr Ernest Ženko, University of Primorska

Highlights:

1. The project builds on Yuk Hui’s reinterpretation of cybernetic thinking in the context of contemporary computing technologies and his call for a “post-European philosophy” or “planetary thinking.”
2. The aim of the PhD dissertation is to describe the internal trajectory and evolution of Chinese cybernetic thought and its practical applications.
3. A key aspect of the project will be to further develop Hui’s question concerning technology in China and to explore theoretical works by Chinese philosophers of technology, such as Chen Changshu (the founder of Chinese philosophy of technology in the 20th century), Yu Guangyuan, Jin Guantao (associated with the Dialectics of Nature), among others.

1. The possibility of formalizing collaboration with researchers from partner universities.
2. The possibility of collaborating with an additional advisor specializing in the subject of the research undertaken.
